Scientists from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) have announced that they made a first direct detection of gravitational waves. The discovery confirms that Einstein was right. Namely, he predicted the presence of...
In the following video, Julie Wilde from DNews explains how the Deep Space Network helps to collect data from various spacecraft and how it actually works. She explores its role to enable satellites such...
By using data from NASA/ ESA Space Telescope, scientists can explore the atmosphere of a so-called “super-Earth”. The planet, also known as 55 Cancri, is eight times the mass of the Earth and is...
By using data from the ESA’s Very Large Telescope and NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have discovered the unusual wavelike structure that surrounds a young star known as AU Microscopii. The young star is...
In the following video, astronomers explain what can happen if we encounter a pulsar. Pulsars are known as exotic neutron stars that are intensely magnetized. Anything that comes too close to a pulsar risks...
The following video displays the Moon’s shadow that will appear during the first solar eclipse in 2016 on March 9th. The Solar Eclipse will take place over the Southeastern Asia.
By using the MPG/ ESO 86-inch telescope, astronomers have captured the birth of the young star. Namely, a nebula known as IC 2631 is illuminated by the star HD 97300. It is located in...
This time-lapse video contains images of the Earth, starry night sky, and amazing Aurora Borealis captured from International Space Station (ISS) on January 17, 18, 20.
Scientists from the Australian National University Research Schol of Astronomy and Astrophysics have discovered that the lonely planet, they spotted before, is actually a part of the wider solar system. Namely, they found out...
This video explains the nature of pulsar, a neutron star with a unique spin like a human fingerprint. Their ‘pulsed’ nature is formed by misalignment between the magnetic axis and their rotational axis. Because...
This video shows pulsars as the most accurate astronomical clocks and the very convenient tool to locate other space objects. According to scientists, they can also serve super intelligent aliens as satellites that help...
According to scientists, the Moon was probably formed by a head-on collision between Mars-sized planet, Theia, and the Earth. A new research suggests that the impact was very intense and highly dramatic. They assume...
Eagle Nebula, the Crab Nebula, the Pinwheel Galaxy, and the Small Magellanic Cloud, are only a small part of the video collection named “Top 100 Hubble Space Telescope Images”. This video represents Episode 2....
In the following video, we can observe beautiful Northern Lights while dancing in the night sky above Sweden, on January 31st, 2016. The images are captured by astrophotographer Scott Davies.
This time-lapse video shows a beautiful view of the Earth, captured from the International Space Station (ISS).
A new image of red sprites that have appeared during a thunderstorm in Acapulco, Mexico, is captured by astronomers from International Space Station (ISS), on August 10th, 2015. This strange phenomenon usually occurs during...
This time-lapse video contains images that are captured from the Yellowstone National Park. An astrophotographer, who enables us to enjoy the beauty of our galaxy in the night sky, is Alex Rivest from Boston.
This video contains the most remarkable images of planet Mars taken during the years of exploration from NASA’s Mariner to Mars Rover.
